Getting My Ex-wife Back

Zorion’s fury suddenly melted away as he gazed at Rossie. “Where are you going to live then?”

“It’s a big village. I can live anywhere. You gave me so much money that I can afford to own half a street here. I’ve made up my mind. I wanted to study abroad, but I think I can do it in the country too. If possible, I will study domestically so that I won’t get kidnapped and cause you trouble.  Anyhow, everything is only temporary. My current concern is Logan. I’ll be relieved if he is able to stand again.”

Rossie had no choice but to mention Logan. Zorion’s expression instantly changed.

“He brought this upon himself. It has nothing to do with us, so don’t take care of him. I won’t let you go.”

“It’s not about you letting me or not. When you go back, help me ask about Elkton University. I want to study there, but there might be some complications as I’ve just returned from abroad. I think I’d have to go through the transfer procedure at least. Try to inquire about it for me. Your status and identity should make it easy for you to get things done.”

Rossie wanted to change the topic, but Zorion pulled a long face. “I don’t have a problem with wherever you’re going to study. Logan’s the only thing I have a problem with. I told you I won’t let you take care of him, and I meant it. If you dare go, then you’d better have a solution ready before I take my revenge on him.”

“You’re unreasonable. Are you wooing me?” Rossie asked him all of a sudden. Zorion thought for a bit before answering, “What else could it be? Does it look like I’m turning you down?”

Zorion asked angrily, but he just came off like a child who was trying to get his parents’ attention.

It was so amusing that Rossie was barely able to hold back her laughter.

“You’re not turning me down, but you’re not very far from doing it. You’re not exactly young anymore. You’re a twenty year-old man, yet you still don’t know how to pursue girls. That’s impressive in a way, I must say.”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Rossie pouted like a duckling. Her disdainful gaze made Zorion feel abashed. The chauffeur was still behind them, waiting for them to get into the car. Zorion bit his lower lip. “What did you say?”

“I said you’re not a man because you don’t know how to pursue girls.”

“Say that again.” Zorion was infuriated and the chauffeur wanted to dig a hole and bury himself in it. He shouldn’t be eavesdropping on this conversation.

However, Rossie felt that there were more buttons she could push on. She added, “Have you seen countries kill their envoys when they’re at war?”

Zorion frowned and didn’t reply.

“If you attack Logan, it suggests that you’re not gentlemanly at all. Though you’re pursuing me, you can’t hurt Logan even if he tries to do the same. Romance rivals should be courteous with each other by competing equitably.”

“If I lose you, why should I be chivalrous? I’ll kill him the moment he harbors any romantic thoughts about you.”

“Stop saying you want to kill people. Human lives are valuable. They’re not like poultries’ which you can take as you wish.”

“Go back and think about it. I will be here. If you don’t change the way you approach things, I may leave since your parents don’t accept me either.”

Zorion calmed down after hearing about his parents and took Rossie’s hand. “I’ll talk to my parents. You can relax.”

“No, I can’t. You have so many things to deal with. Don’t worry about me, and don’t tell your parents first. Let’s take it step by step and let nature take its course.”

Rossie was unsure whether she would stay. She simply wanted to help Zorion before she left, and that was why she said what she did. She just did not want to upset him since he had just recovered.

Jacky and Deanna then emerged from inside. Seeing that Zorion and Rossie were reluctant to part ways, Deanna held back her tears, sniffling as she said, “I’m not the only one being like this. Zorion’s the same.”

Jacky tugged at her a little and wiped away her tears. “Deanna, quiet.”

Deanna sniffled. “Okay.”

Zorion lifted his head to look at Jacky. “Take care of Deanna.”

Zorion then turned around and got into the car.  He glanced at Rossie. “Take care of yourself.”

Once the door was closed, he ordered the chauffeur to start driving. As the car pulled away, he fixed his eyes on Rossie through the rear-view mirror before slowly turning his head away.

“Rossie, why don’t you go back with my brother?” After Zorion left, Deanna’s sorrow dissipated.

She thought that as long as nobody died, everything would be okay.

Rossie glanced at Jacky, who was standing aside. She was astounded by his attitude toward Deanna.

“Your brother is going home, and your parents don’t like me. I don’t want to go back with him, and it’s really nice here. I’m planning to find somewhere to live here.”

Deanna’s eyes widened. “Rossie, are you staying to protect me?”

“You’ve got such a vivid imagination. Isn’t having him already enough? Do you still need me to stay and protect you?” Rossie always spoke in such a tone. At times, she could be even more straightforward and tactless.

Deanna wasn’t offended. She was used to Rossie’s way of speaking as Rossie had never spoken politely to her.

She would just have to suck it up.

She had long since heard that once she had a sister-in-law, she would have some tough times ahead of her; that seemed to be true.

Sister-in-laws were definitely something else.

However, Deanna was quick-witted. She went over and held Rossie’s arm. “If you aren’t staying to protect me, then why are you staying here? Are you trying to say that you’d like to have some fun with me?”

Rossie laughed, admiring Deanna’s optimism.

Rossie thought that Deanna was a much better person than the typical proud, young ladies of wealthy families who were easily led astray. On the contrary, Deanna was nothing like them and would not be easily influenced. Although they were all born with a silver spoon in their mouths, Deanna was excellent at adapting.

She could dress glamorously, but she could also sport simple and plain clothes. Delicacies were fine by her, as well as ordinary meals.

Notwithstanding her family influence, her natural personality might have played a role in this too.

Rossie shot a glance at Deanna. “I’m staying for Logan.”

“Why? Aren’t you together with my brother? Why are you doing this for Logan? Rossie, this doesn’t sound like a good idea. Fidelity is the most important thing to women. How can you be two-timing?”

As soon as Deanna heard that Rossie was staying for Logan, she immediately spoke up on behalf of her brother.

Indeed, Zorion and Deanna were twins. Rossie could see that they shared similar mindsets and that whenever their interests were involved, they would always get the wrong idea about things.

Like brother, like sister. Their characters couldn’t be changed.
